Halibut & Rockfish Charter | ||
---|---|---|
Summary: | During early season (April – early June) these trips target both Halibut and Rockfish. Beginning mid June these trips focus solely on Halibut. The schools of Halibut that run the inland waters of Alaska provide outstanding opportunities to reel in monsters up to 400 pounds! These Halibut rise from ocean depths exceeding 1000 feet, to swim the inland waters as shallow as 50 feet while searching for bait. These fighters are some of the finest athletes in the ocean, having very little body fat and impressive muscle. Bringing in these fish can be an exhilarating, exhausting and thrilling event even for the most experienced anglers. These trips are great for those who are looking to hunt down those trophy monsters! | |
Availability: | June 6 – Aug 23 – daily except Wednesdays | |
Trip time: | Meet at the Alaska Seafood Grill between 5:30am to 5:45am. The Grill will open at 5am and have coffee and quick breakfast options. Your charter crew will meet you there and walk you down to the boats. Charters leave the dock promptly at 6am and return between 4:30 and 6pm. | |
Duration: | 12 hours | |
Halibut & Silver Salmon Charter | ||
Summary: | Unleash your inner angler on this dynamic fishing adventure! Haul in heavyweight Halibut and bottom dwellers with top-of-the-line, robust rods and tackle. Then, switch gears and finesse feisty Salmon with a technique as thrilling as the catch itself. Instead of dragging bait passively, you will use a method called 'mooching.' where you will actively jig your line, enticing nearby Salmon with a bite-sized herring. Feel the tug as a fish investigates, then the satisfying set of the hook as the battle begins. This interactive approach proves superior to trolling when targeting schooled fish, maximizing the fight and your angling prowess. Resurrection Bay offers a generous limit of six Silver Salmon per person, while venturing outside the bay rewards you with three prized Silvers each. You will strategically split the day, dedicating half to mooching for these feisty fighters and the other half to battling hefty Halibut. Imagine reeling in a magnificent Halibut tipping the scales between 20 and 80 pounds! It's not uncommon to witness hauls exceeding 100 pounds in these bountiful Alaskan waters. Are you ready to experience the thrill? | |

3/4 Day Non-Halibut Combo Charter | ||

Pacific Cod is a tasty white-meat fish that is often served as an alternative to Halibut because it is a much more economically friendly option. Fishing for Pacific Cod provides a much more fast-action type of experience and reeling in this “Grey Gold,” as it is called in the commercial fish industry, is a great way to round out your freezer with healthy and delicious seafood! | |

These magnificent beasts tip the scales at a staggering 15-60 pounds (sometimes even more!) The King (Chinook) Salmon & Rockfish Charter trip targets these 'feeder Kings' early in the season, before the Silvers arrive. Forget the slow troll. Your expert captains, veterans of countless King battles, will deploy a strategic spread of lures and bait, enticing these finicky feeders to a fight they won't forget.
